The Best Baby.

The Chicago Rambler recently
undertook to discover the best ba-
by in that big city. Letters were
sent out to mothers, reading as fol
lows:
DEAR MADAM: Can you inform
me where the incest, sweetest and
prettiest baby in this city is to be
found?"
The answers to them, the pub
fishers say, leave the question
more in doubt than ever. There
seems to be difference of opinion
on the subject.
Mrs. J. writes: cat my house
of course, stupid"
Mrs. l.. G. D. remarks: "In the
city! The prettiest, sweetest, and
incest baby in the world is at oul
house."
Mrs. John T. says: Call any
time, and I'll show it to you"
Mrs John J. De P. tells us 81

self. 1 asked the nurse, and she
said my baby answered the descrip
ton l guess she's right. At any
rate, I'll look into the nursery after
the reception this afternoon and

Mrs. D. V. evidently mistakes
the motive, for she writes back: 81

by mistake, responded: at amt

HOME FOLKS.
The Statue OF Liberty.

Christmas at the Charleston Boptist
Church.
The annual holiday entertain

New Years Eve, was quite equal,
in its special features TO any for

rain kept at least fifty persons
away, but the church was filled
with children and their friends
and members OF the congrega-

blocks of which this monument
part was composed suggested five
different steps in the mission and
work OF Christ. Ana alter eaCh
block was placed by four children,
each set repeated verse of Scrip
ture appropriate to each mission.
After the last block was placed, in
scriptions could be read on each,
and by reading downward, the
word TRUTH, was prominently
seen. The monument was now
ready for the statue, and Mamie
Stockton. dressed in flowing white
robes, and gilt crown, and lighted
torch in her hand, appeared
through the rear entrance under
the arch, and surmounted the
monument, and with torch and
arm uplifted, repeated "Hold;ng

for the occasion, and remained in
this attitude while the choir rem
dered "Let the Lower Lights be

Twenty Thousand Soldiers Snowball-
ing at One Time.

In January, 1864, while the Con-
federate troops were in winter quar-
ters at Dalton, there came big
snow storm, and twenty thousand
soldiers went into regularly or
ganiz-d wballing. On one side
of a branch was the parade ground
Of the Georgia and South Carolina
troops, and back of that the quar-
ter- On the opposite side of the
branch was the parade ground Of
the Tennesseeans, and back OF their
parade ground were their quarters.
The ground was frozen to depth
of five feet, the snow was foot
deep and no indication of melting.
A day was appointed tor the snow
battle. The Tennesseeans march
ed out and formed a line of battle,
their drums beating, bugles blow
ing, cplors flying and officers
mounted Every soldier had KNAPP
sack full of snow balls. The Georg-
i.ns formed and prepared to make
the attack Dy crossing the branch.
There were 10000 men on each
side, and the scene was very inn
posing. AS soon as the the Geor-
gians crossed the branch they met
a terrible fusilade from the Tenn
esseeans, who were at home in the
snow. The commander of the
Tennesseeans, handsome fellow
named Gordon, who was from
Franklin, Tenn, was captured,
bus bold dash was made by the
Ten nesseeans, and he was rescued,
The Georgians and South Carolini-
ans being unused to snow, were at a
great disad vantage and were forced
back across this branch. AS the
Tennesseeans crossed the branch
they wet their snowballs, and the
next volIey fred st the Georgians
and Carolinians was terrible in its
effect. Pressing on, the Tennessee
ans captured the quarters and pro-
ceedeu to loot the whole shebang,
carried off rations, tobacco, pipes
and everything else that did not
b9Iong to the Government That
en- WHALING, in which twenty
thousand men took part, was no
doubt the biggest thing of the kind

Long Tails and Short Tails.

A traveller in New England saw
the following sign on board that
wa nailed to fence near a village :
Horses taken in to grass. Long
tails, 81 SO: short tails, 81.
The traveller halted and asked
the owner of the land why there
was such a difference in the price
of board for horses.
"Well, you see," said the man,
the long tails can brush away the
flies; and short ones are so torment
ed by them they can hardly eat at
all.

Regulating the Elephant.

Everybody had heard that the
great elephant was loose, and sew
eral families whose gardens he had
torn up and whose boys he had
tram pied upon, were sure of it.
Th3re was great excitement, and
the town held meeting to decide
what should be done. They did
not want to extermirate him; in
fact, many of them did not believe
that they could exterminate him,
for be was pretty big elephant
Besides he was useful in his prop
er place-in shows, in India, and
in story books.
"Our best plan is to try and reg
ulate him." said an enthusiastic
speaker. "L7t us build toll gates

man. "And don't want my boy
killed.
"Keep your boy away from him !;
that's your business, Why, mad
am, don't you know that an ele-
phants hide and tusks are valua-
Bile for mechanical and surgical
purposes, and that he is useful in
India2 Besides, there's the toll
be will pay. We shall by this
means get money enough into the
public treasury TO build schools for
good many boys who are not

"That's the plan. Regulate

the crowd.
So they appointed great many
committees, and drafted constitu-
tions and bylaws, and circulated
petitions, and oy the time the ele-
plant had killed several mo e
boys and tramlled down guam.
tity Of gardens, they had erected
very comfortabl BILE toll houses for the
gate keepers and gates for the ele-
phant; ana tnen tneY waited Win
great satisfaction to see the ami

Slowly the great feet tramped
on ward slowly the great probos-
els appeared in view and, with a
sniff of contempt, the elephant
lifted The gate from its hinges and
walked eff with it, while the
Gro wd stared after him in dismay.
"Well,' exclaimed the keeper,
catching his breath eve havn't
made much money SO far, but the
regulation plan would have been
frst-rate if the elephant hadn't
been a leetle stronger than the OBJ

glish women are very submissive to
the good man. But there is one field
in which she is the sole monarch
namely: the field of society. An En-
glishman may not drag Tom, Dick or
Harry home to dinner unless his wife
be quite agreeable, and, in fact, gives
the invitation. He may :ake strangers
to his club, but not to his domestic
freside unless "the missis" shall so
wish. And when she does so wish,
business matters are topics never dis
cussed at dinner. In fact, to discuss a
mans business life is always breach
of English etiquette. l know many
families quite intimately, and in a
large number of cases am unaware of
the particular calling by which my host
